Quick, healthy, and easy-to-make fresh veggie wraps loaded with crisp vegetables and a tangy lemon-tahini dressing, perfect for lunch or a light dinner.

Ingredients

  • Whole wheat or spinach tortillas (or gluten-free wraps)
  • Fresh spinach or mixed baby greens
  • Red, yellow, or orange bell peppers, thinly sliced
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
  • Carrots, shredded or julienned
  • Avocado, ripe and sliced or mashed
  • Red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Lemon-tahini dressing:
  • – 3 tablespoons tahini paste
  • – 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • – 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • – 2-3 tablespoons water
  • – Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Optional extras: crumbled feta or shredded cheese, toasted nuts or seeds, hummus

Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh produce well.
  2. Thinly slice bell peppers, cucumber, and red onion (if using).
  3. Shred or julienne the carrots.
  4. Set aside leafy greens and chop any fresh herbs.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine tahini paste, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  6. Slowly whisk in water until the dressing reaches a creamy but pourable consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Warm tortillas for about 15 seconds on each side in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel.
  8. Lay a warm tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of lemon-tahini dressing over the surface.
  9. Layer greens, then sliced bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and red onion evenly.
  10. Add sliced or mashed avocado on top and sprinkle with chopped herbs or optional extras.
  11. Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, then tightly roll from one edge to the other.
  12. Serve immediately or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Notes

Do not overload the wraps to avoid tearing. Warm the wraps just enough to make them pliable but not soggy. Slice veggies uniformly thin for easier rolling. The lemon-tahini dressing should be creamy but pourable. Assemble wraps just before eating for best freshness or store tightly wrapped for up to 24 hours.
